UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution plc is buying overhead line insulators for use across Great Britain, under a framework serving both Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution and Southern Electric Power Distribution. The requirement covers two product areas: porcelain insulators and composite insulators, including their supply and delivery. This is a goods procurement for suppliers of electrical equipment used on overhead power lines. Each product area is treated as a separate lot, allowing businesses specialising in either porcelain or composite insulators to identify the relevant opportunity. The framework is intended to support the distribution network activities of the two electricity distribution companies, with delivery required across their operational sites in Great Britain.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyers invited suppliers to submit offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. All tender responses must be submitted electronically through the Jaggaer system. Questions were due by 10 August 2026 at 17:00, and offers were due by 17 August 2026 at 17:00. The award decision was scheduled by 30 September 2026 at 23:59. The framework has two lots, each estimated at £5,800,000 gross: porcelain insulators and composite insulators. Each lot has an initial contract period from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2031, with an option to extend by up to three further 12-month periods, potentially to 30 November 2034. Price carries 70% of the evaluation and technical quality 30%.

This opportunity suits manufacturers, distributors and specialist electrical equipment suppliers able to provide either porcelain or composite insulators for overhead power-line networks and manage delivery to multiple sites across Great Britain. Suppliers should be able to meet the technical requirements set out in the invitation-to-tender documentation and demonstrate the operational capacity to fulfil a long-term electricity-distribution supply arrangement. The buyer intends to appoint one supplier to each lot, so businesses with a focused product range may compete for the relevant lot, while broader suppliers may be suited to both. The framework can support orders with or without reopening competition, and pricing will be assessed from tendered rates and pricing schedules alongside the technical submission.
